Deadly attack hits Iraq mosque

In July 2005 more than 70 people were killed in the same mosque when a suicide bomber detonated explosives loaded on a lorry.

The mosque is mainly used by worshippers who follow Muqtada al-Sadr, a Shia leader.

Politicians loyal to al-Sadr strongly opposed the security pact which the parliament approved on Thursday, which allows US troops to remain in Iraq for another three years.
